Description

Atenas Gem is a fully renovated two-story residence that embodies refined comfort and serene countryside living. Situated on an exceptional 1.7-acre lot of mostly flat, fully usable terrain, the property features manicured gardens, mature Guanacaste trees, and a diverse selection of fruit trees that create a private oasis of natural beauty. Located in Atenas, a peaceful town in the Central Valley of Alajuela province, the home enjoys a strategic position just 30 minutes west of San José and 25 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport. Easy access to Route 27 puts the Pacific coast within an hour's reach, while the town itself is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, traditional lifestyle, and what many call the best climate in the world. The home's impressive entrance features a wide automatic gate opening to a long, paved driveway lined with mature landscaping. Two imposing columns frame the façade, with a large front garden creating an immediate sense of privacy and peace. Originally built in 2009, the property has been extensively renovated with upscale finishes and thoughtfully modernized throughout. The main floor showcases a spacious open-plan living and dining area with large sliding glass doors that open onto a covered terrace overlooking the gardens. Natural light floods the interiors, creating a seamless connection to the outdoor landscape. The kitchen is the home's most elegant feature, finished in a sophisticated dark-toned palette with sleek design elements, a walk-in pantry, and refined cabinetry. This level includes a spacious guest or primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Two outdoor terraces enhance the entertaining and relaxation experience. The first, garden-facing terrace provides a peaceful setting immersed in nature, while the second adjoins the resort-style pool, surrounded by tropical greenery and bordered by elegant Coralina stone. These spaces are ideal for sunbathing, lounging, and entertaining. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each feature their own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The primary suite is particularly generous in size, with a private terrace offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The en-suite bathroom features dual vanities and refined finishes that enhance the luxurious feel. Warm wood ceilings throughout the home add character and natural texture, while a comprehensive smart home system provides voice-activated lighting, integrated ceiling fans, air conditioning in every bedroom, and a 14-camera security system. The tiled roof and natural ventilation maintain a cool, comfortable interior year-round. Additional conveniences include a laundry room, two-car garage, and independent guest or staff quarters with a private bathroom. The property benefits from dual water systems—connection to the public water supply and a private well—along with a comprehensive irrigation system to maintain the expansive gardens. This exceptional property combines privacy, substantial land size, and high-end finishes in a highly strategic location, offering a refined countryside lifestyle with modern comforts and easy access to Costa Rica's major amenities.
